or: 11 songs about divorce & 1 song about having a glove kink (while your marriage is falling apart)
(lyric snippets & audios below the cut)
5 Years Into Marriage - Matt Owens & Hannah White
5 years into marriage
And it's looking like we're almost done.
I love you,
I'm just not in love with you any more
(no, no, no)
Both floated down the aisle,
Started taking each other for granted somewhere between-
The pulpit and those church doors.
Confetti kissed your face,
And I trod it right into the floor.
We can stick it out another ten years, and we probably will.
Barricade - Stars
I found you on a Saturday, and that was where I lost you
You had to finally walk away because of what it cost you
Years later on, I saw your face
In line to catch the morning train
You looked like you'd been softened
Like you never really loved the pain
I Don't Want Love - The Antlers
If I leave before you,
And I walk out alone,
Keep your hands to yourself
When you follow me home.
If You Love Me, You Will Lie - Out lines
And shouting through the bathroom door
You said that I was keeping score
Why can't we accept that there's no more
We never say goodbye
It's Beginning To Get To Me - Snow Patrol
I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screamin' under my breath
You are the only thing that makes sense
Just ignore all this present tense
Midnight Love - Girl In Red
I hope that the right time one day arrives
So, I'll be willing to let this die
Able to look you right in the eyes
Say I'm not your consolation prize
Mothers - Daughter
You will grow all you need to grow inside my spine
And then take what you need to take, what's yours is mine
And then just give all you want of it to some new thing
I'll stay here, the provider of that constant sting they call love
Nothing New - Rio Romeo
So, won't you please spare me indignity?
And won't you please give me some decency?
And won't you please call it if our time is through?
'Cause I know that we fall apart when nothing's new
Sometimes I Still Feel the Bruise - The Mountain Goats
Making contact gets harder
As the silence grows longer
Why would you think of me?
When you were not the one in love
When you were not the dreamer
When you were just the dream
I'm under no illusion
As to what I meant to you
But you made an impression
And sometimes I still feel the bruise
Splinter - Scott Hutchison & James Graham
‘Cause I always took the cutting,
And you only missed my heart
Although it amounts to nothing,
The nothing’s left it’s mark
The Modern Leper - Frightened Rabbit
Well, I crippled your heart a hundred times
And still can't work out why
You see, I've got this disease
I can't shake and I'm just rattling through life
Well, this is how we do things now
Yeah, this is how the modern stay scared
So I cut out all the good stuff
Yeah, I cut off my foot to spite my leg
Wedding Gloves - Frightened Rabbit FT. Aiden Moffat
Do you even remember
What we said in the vows?
God was watching on Saturday
But He is not with us now, with us now

THE SUNSHINE COURT SPOILERS
“You never should have brought me here. You never should have interfered. You should have just—”
“Let them kill you?” Abby asked. “No.”
“They never touched me.”
“Stop lying to me.”
Jean pulled against her grip. “A Fox wouldn’t understand.”
“Probably not,” Abby said. “My Foxes chose to fight back.”
SHE DESTROYED HIM IN SECONDS.

Sometimes, you have to imagine Gideon exploring Canaan house with the same music that Coraline Jones had when she explored the Pink Palace. It's good for the soul (it also makes no sense, but it's funny to me)

Do you have any favorite acelu headcanons/tropes/dynamics?? All your works of them are so gorgeous and amazing and wonderful that it’s got me curious on what other thoughts you might have for them. (●´∀`)ノ♡
AHHH thank you!! From you, it means a lot--I love so many of the details and backstories woven into your works for them!! TwT
I barely know where to begin with this bc like. Everything about acelu is my favorite. But I've also sort of been in a brainrot for them for so long now that my brain is entirely mush when I even think of them. Where do I start???
I guess, I love all the Ace-Lives-related headcanons. Anything about him finding more of a sense of self after Marineford, now that he's reckoned with the fact that he really is unconditionally loved... I personally adore any storyline where Ace kind of mellows out, like, his life isn't about proving he deserves to exist anymore, so he isn't as unforgiving with himself. I actually wanna link this comment thread between me & @to-a-merrier-world bc the headcanon of Ace getting a Stawhat tattoo makes me go wild. It just makes so much sense—his Whitebeard tattoo was on his back as a sign of worth and labor and duty, but the Stawhat tattoo over his heart would place more emphasis on his joys and dreams and jusT gosh. I need to lie down. This idea also ties into your to be deserving fic and Ace allowing himself more like, purely whimsical adornment?? Especially if it's gifts from Luffy??? I can't quite word it now, but the way it could symbolize him just loving the parts of himself that aren't just for fighting makes me. weak. I think it's why I like drawing post-timeskip Ace ideas so much (I already have another sketch I'm planning to post 😂)
hhhh okay that was a lot of Ace Talk. On Luffy's side... tbh Luffy is always harder for me to pin down. But I always love the idea that he needed Ace as a kid just as much as Ace needed him. Like this hc (from another comment 😂)—"Ace needs someone to prove unconditionally that he's lovable, and Luffy needs someone to prove that his love is important, and not easy to abandon." tbh acelu reminds me of my old D&D character, where basically, she was always pretty cheerful and resilient, but felt isolated—like she was always too alien to really relate to others. But then, this other character loved her as she is, and I think Ace did something similar for Luffy in the end? Like, in a world where Luffy never got Ace, I wonder if he'd still be as emotionally secure and kind. Probably! But... ahhh. This hc is more indulgent, but I really love the idea that Ace helps Luffy remember who he is beneath all the power and bravery. Where most of the One Piece world loves Luffy for being a liberator and a fearless captain, Ace loved him before all that—when he was just a kid who loved to laugh and share a meal and marvel at the world.
Oh my goddd I'm rambling. uuuuhhhh there's so much more, I love both when people write Ace as cool and suave, but also when he's a giant lovesick dork... The enemies/annoyance-to childhood friends-to lovers trope works in every world, I'd love to see it in AUs as like a bodyguard + celebrity/royalty plot, or arranged marriage—or pretty much, any story where Luffy wins Ace over with his terrifyingly stubborn love. I also love the fact that their dynamic is so playful!!! If an acelu fic/art doesn't imply that they can—and love—laughing together, then it's out of character to me. 😂
I don't know... they just have it all.... the depth and "I would die for you" level of devotion. But also the ridiculous "we're two feral gremlins who dare each other to eat doritos soaked in mountain dew" shenanigans. It's that mix of both.

Expert in a Rocky Field
When the @ans-arcade gift exchange sent me your name, I immediately thought about making you a Lata playlist! Started digging through my old grad school playlists for some academic vibes, then I filled in the blanks with other songs about rocks. It ended up having more songs about the sadness and peril of academia, which I’m sure Lata knows about… I hope you like it, @meefy!
Expert in a Rocky Field
Expert in a Dying Field- The Beths
Sisyphus- Andrew Bird
Iridium Dream- Louie Zong
Lazuli- Beach House
Calcite Prism- Louie Zong
Oblivion- David Bazan
Postdoc Blues- John K. Samson
May Their Brilliance Ever Linger- Louie Zong
Summary lyrics are posted after the cut:
Expert in a Dying Field- The Beths
Hours of phrases I've memorized
Thousands of lines on the page
All of my notes in a desolate pile
I haven't touched in an age
How does it feel?
To be an expert in a dying field
And how do you know?
It's over when you can't let go
You can't let go, you can't stop, can't rewind
Love is learned over time
'Til you're an expert in a dying field
Sisyphus- Andrew Bird
Sisyphus peered into the mist
A stone's throw from the precipice, paused
Did he jump or did he fall
as he gazed into the maw of the morning mist?
Did he raise both fists and say,
“To hell with this,” and just let the rock roll?
Let it roll, let it crash down low
There's a house down there but I lost it long ago
It's got nothing to do with fate
And everything to do with you
Lazuli- Beach House
In the blue
Of this life
Where it ends
In the night
Is nothing like lapis lazuli
Let it go back to me
Like no other
You can't be replaced
Oblivion- David Bazan
Hello again, Oblivion
Can you find the frequency
While the specters hover whispering
Hello again, Oblivion
But it's no good to complain
Of fatigue and existential pain
Hold on to what you've got
Though it may not be a lot
Cause now is not the time for second thoughts
You believe in it
Now it's time to follow through
You believe in it
What does that say about you?
Postdoc Blues- John K. Samson
So your presentation went terrible
All wrong dongles, sweat stains and stares
Don’t despair you’ll get it right tomorrow night
I believe in you and your PowerPoints
I know why you can’t stay away
So take that laminate out of your wallet and read it
And recommit yourself to the healing of the world
And to the welfare of all creatures upon it
Pursue of practice that will strengthen your heart
